Valentine Fun

I typically put off any upcoming holiday projects until last minute. Valentine's has proved to be no exception. Luckily, Valentine's is unlike Christmas cards. I don't have many to make so I might actually have them done in time for the Holiday.Here I have made a cute little mailbox for my sweetest Valentine to receive some treats from Mom and Dad. I got a thumbs up from him (high praise from a 7 year old) and he has placed it in his room for his Valentine's to add some love to. I took the design straight from one of my favorite You Tuber's :Maymay Made It. You can find the tutorial here. The mailbox opens up with a rectangle box that holds whatever you put in it. Not sure if you can see it well in the picture but here it is:

Thanks to all those shapes I cut out with my cricut over the weekend, putting together some cards for my Valentine was pretty easy.I made a couple of heart shaped cards and a couple of 3 x3 cards. He will know he has mail when the flag is up. Take a look at the cards:

I bought the ninja file from SVG Cutting Files. I fussy cut him out and added a speech bubble from Cricut Design Space with the sentiment "I get a kick out of you Valentine"

The others are just different shapes I stacked on top of the cards with the sentiments I had my Cricut add. Nothing too fancy. I did add a red doily I have from my stash that I bought a pack of a couple of Christmas' ago from Michael's Recollections.

All the cardstock I got out of my stash and is from Recollections from Michael's. I shop there often. Can you tell?
